Along with this, the Housing and Urban Affairs Department has also got an estimated survey done. It is being told that different rates have been fixed for different property sectors. Buildings of 78 municipal bodies will come under the ambit of the new property tax system. In the new system, everyone will be given a chance to self-assess their property. Along with this, preparations are being made at the departmental level to implement property tax in the new financial year. In the new tax system, a provision has been kept for depositing tax in two instalments. Along with this, there will also be a provision of penalty on those who do not deposit tax on time.
